Re: [Flashcoders] splitting the list?
The method I use is to assign a message filter to automatically move all messages with flashcoders in the subject field to another folder. This separates the important messages from the less important (you know... the work ones :) automatically as they arrive. I have set the filter to move them to a local folder on my machine so the messages don't use up space in my IMAP mail account. » Mikko Törmälä » Flash Developer » FWD HELSINKI » tel: +358 50 352 9770 Count Schemula wrote: Consider using a Yahoo! or gmail account specifically for this list.

Re: [Flashcoders] splitting the list?
I second that suggestion. Gmail is really good for storing mailing lists. My account has this one (fairly high traffic) and a couple gentoo related ones (massively high traffic). Between the two lists I have over 19000 conversations (which can each have a large number of individual mails). Mail.app on the mac and thunderbird had problems dealing with that much stuff if I wanted to search through them, but gmail's search is pretty much instantaneous. I've found it's much faster to just search my e-mail account than to try and search the list archives too. :) -Andy On 5/23/07, Count Schemula [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Consider using a Yahoo! or gmail account specifically for this list.

Re: [Flashcoders] splitting the list?
Gmail is that good in searching your mails, that it pops up advertising related to the words within your (private) mails! Look at the right side! Yeah! Each of us, who is using Gmail for flashcoders is storing the same information - which is the definition of redundance, isn't it? So, don't get me wrong, I like Flashcoders Mailinglist, because it just works for me, but why do Forums or (Google) Groups not work as well? There are at least two german web forums (flashforum.de and flashhilfe.de), which are highly used, but it can't beat the international discussions of Flashcoders. And: I would also not split Flashcoders.. Matthias 2007/5/24, Andy Herrman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I second that suggestion. Gmail is really good for storing mailing lists.

Re: [Flashcoders] splitting the list?
works for me, but why do Forums or (Google) Groups not work as well? Because you have to remember to log in. Forums and Groups are a 'go and look' solution, whereas mailing lists are a 'here's something to look at!' solution. Personally, I subscribe to a whole bunch of mailing lists. The mails come in, and I at least notice the titles. If I had to go and visit the same number of forums instead, I wouldn't read half the lists.

Re: [Flashcoders] splitting the list?
Yea, but the ads are unobtrusive and 90% of the time I don't even notice them. The other 10% are when I look at them just to see what kind of random things are being displayed (I've seen some very strange ads come up and I try to figure out what could have triggered them. It's fun). Forums aren't nearly as convenient. As Ian mentioned, you have to choose to go to them on your own to see what's available. Mailing lists let you keep a central place to go for everything (your mail client of choice). I find mailing lists much more flexible and responsive, as I have full control over how I look at it and I don't have to go out of my way to see if anything has been added to the list. Also, mailing lists feel more like a 'standard' than forums, as they all use the same 'interface', instead of the widely varying software and interfaces for forums. -Andy On 5/24/07, Matthias Dittgen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Gmail is that good in searching your mails, that it pops up advertising related to the words within your (private) mails!

RE: [Flashcoders] splitting the list?
This topic, or at least one very similar, was just brought up earlier this week. See subject: [Flashcoders] Motion to combine coders and newbies. I personally think many of the questions being posted here probably belong in FlashNewbies, and not enough people know about that list. I know I'm guilty of posting newbie questions here because I didn't even know about the other list until this week. I'd like to see the list stay as is, but would like to see more revealing subject lines instead of the many Problem! Help! Is this an error? type lines that don't give any idea of what the actual problem is and make it difficult to search the list to reference solutions for your own problems (thus not requiring a repost if its already been covered). Another idea that I support was the use of additional tags in the subject line such as [XML] or [server] so people can use their own filtering. Just my two cents. Daniel Holth I.S.
